One of the most famous Air Jordan 3 colorways is heading to the golf course. The Air Jordan 3 Golf “Black Cement” is expected to release on January 16th, 2027.
Overall, the look stays very close to the original 1988 design. A black tumbled leather upper is expected, along with cement grey elephant print overlays and bright red accents.
The main differences are underneath. The golf version is built on a golf outsole, and Jordan Brand may tweak the foam for more comfort while walking the course. The style code is IU3188-001. Pairs are expected through Nike, Hibbett, and DSG.
This is not a normal retro return. Instead of another basketball version of the “Black Cement,” Jordan Brand is giving fans a version made for the course. It follows the spikeless Air Jordan 1 Low Golf “Chicago”, which brought another famous colorway to the same setting.
It also fits Michael Jordan’s long love of golf, which has shaped the Jordan Golf line for years. The shoe should work for golfers and sneaker fans alike. It looks like a classic, but it is built to be worn on grass.
The Air Jordan 3 is already having a busy stretch, with regional pairs like the Air Jordan 3 “Middle East” also on the calendar. Expect strong demand once pairs arrive.
Air Jordan 3 Golf “Black Cement"
The “Black Cement” 3 is one of the most important sneakers ever made. Tinker Hatfield designed the shoe in 1988, and it helped keep Michael Jordan with Nike.
This golf pair is also part of a bigger Jordan Golf push. The brand’s earlier ADG 3 used Air Jordan 4 details, and Jordan Brand has also launched a spiked Air Jordan 1 Low Golf as part of its Space Jam collection, which also includes the Air Jordan 11 “Space Jam” retro arriving in December.
The Air Jordan 3 has been all over the calendar this fall. It has been used for holiday pairs like the kids-only Air Jordan 3 “Santa” and the dark Air Jordan 3 “Not Nice”, and a Knicks version is also in December.
Overall, the Air Jordan 3 Golf is a clever idea. It lets golfers and collectors enjoy an icon in a new way.
